Snow Cookie Day

Snow. The weather forecast yesterday was sucky all around. High winds along with freezing rain and sleet were the sounds I woke up to as they cruelly knocked at my bedroom window. I had planned on running 5 miles before the storm hit, but that plan was scrapped when I took the puppy out and nearly fell on my butt. This is what we were left with after the storm hit.

This was obviously taken after the plows came through. I sure hope the roads are better out there today!

The best thing I could think of to fill some time on a snowy day was a batch of warm cookies. I grabbed a box of Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix and added my own twist – peanut butter chips!

I thought the aroma of fresh-baked cookies would wake the family up, but I was wrong – not even warm cookies can compete with a warm, toasty bed on a freezing cold snow day! No worries, that left more for me!

Cookies aren’t just good for enjoying fresh out of the oven, but for building cookie towers!

I really like the addition of the peanut butter chips to these cookies! The cookies really seemed to hold their shape, better than they do without the additional chips. I love the subtle flavor of the peanut butter combined with chocolate – heaven! If you want to give this a try, follow these simple instructions:

I love the simplicity of using a boxed gluten-free mix and adding a twist to make it my own. I would love to add walnuts and dried cranberries the next time I make these! Not only does that sound divine, but it will ensure the kids will stay away from my cookies. Did I just say that out loud?

What is your favorite snowy day activity? Do you dress up boxed baking mixes?
